    Hey everyone, hope its all going good

    I was just wondering if anyone else has specific songs that mean something, remind them of an event or person, or in any other way are special to them.

    Ive got a few:

    The entire Dangerous (Michael Jackson) album and the Best of Beegees album reminds me af a 6 months trip my family took and those were the only two cassettes we had.

    I'll Bet He Was Cool and Two Beds and a Coffee Machine (Savage Garden) remind me of Kairos Retreat

    I Don't Want To Miss A Thing (Aerosmith) is my year levels (unofficial) year-level theme song, so that reminds me of Year Twelve, particularly the formal (When that song played, the entire year level stood up and sang it)

    The Timewarp reminds me of my best friends, particularly the night we went and saw Rocky Horror Picture Show in an open air cinema and we were the only ones that got up and did the Timewarp in front of everyone else

    So, yeah, anyone else have songs that remind them of certain things?

    I like to listen to the song I Miss You by Blink 182 when someone dies.

    Years ago whenever I felt sad I listened to Hold On by Good Charlotte.

    ... Yes I was emo. -.-

    I have two.

    "Elton's Song" by Elton John (from his 1980 album "The Fox"). At the time I was about 17 and had a major crush on a boy that I saw at the railway station every week when I was going to college. The song is about a boy in a boarding school who has a crush on an older boy. Although the circumstances were different, the mood and feeling in the lyrics summed up exactly how I felt at the time.

    Sitting in my room I've got it bad
    Crying for the moon - they think I'm mad
    I would give my life for a single night
    Beside you.

    "Dance with my Father" by Luther Vandross. I first heard this song not long after my father died in November 2002. Although I never danced with my father, this song seemed to fit the way I was feeling, and even more so the way my mum was feeling.

    I know I'm praying for much too much,
    But could you send The only man she loved.
    I know you don't do it usually,
    But dear Lord she's dying,
    To dance with my father again.

    the song that is my song and my life is "Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty. When my mom was pregnant with me in the early 90's this song was a hit. it was her favorite song at the time. she played it all the time. then when i was born she rocked me to sleep on it. i wouldn't go to sleep otherwise. then when i was a little kid my dad was always playing it and i danced to it. then when i was older and sorta forgot about it my dad put it on a mixed CD and i loved it. it was strangely familiar. time went on and i got an ipod and was relistening to all of my old mixed CD and was playing loudly and loved it. then my mom retold me the story of how she first heard it and rocked me to sleep on it. its been a personal hit to me and is very inspiring. my whole life i've wished i could fly and when i'm older i'm going to get wings tattooed on my back. hence the whole Angel thing with me. I can almost cry when i listen to it. the music video suxs so i'm not going to link to it but here's the lyrics:Well it started out

    Learning to Fly by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

    Well it started out
    Down a dirty road.
    Started out
    All alone.

    And the sun went down
    As I crossed the hill.
    And the town lit up,
    And the world got still.

    I'm learnin' to fly,
    But I ain't got wings.
    Comin' down
    Is the hardest thing.

    Well the good ol' days
    May not return.
    And the rocks might melt,
    And the sea may burn.

    I'm learnin' to fly,
    But I ain't got wings.
    Comin' down
    Is the hardest thing.

    Well some say life
    Will beat you down,
    And break your heart,
    Steal your crown.

    So it started out
    For God-knows-where.
    I guess I'll know
    When I get there.

    I'm learning to fly
    Around the clouds.
    What goes up
    Must come down.

    I'm learnin to fly
    But I ain't got wings.
    Comin' down
    Is the hardest thing.

    I'm learnin' to fly
    Around the clouds.
    But what goes up
    Must come down.

    I'm learnin' to fly.
    I'm learnin' to fly.

    (and yes i started to cry rereading the lyrics. now i have to go listen to it!):tears: :lol:

    for me, Flyleaf's "All around me" reminds me of God.

    also, Do As Infinity's "Shinjitsu No Uta" reminds me of how through suffering, there is still some hope.

    Joni Mitchell's Parking Lot reminds me of the mountains. My family and I used to drive ~8 hours to my grandma's house, which took us through the Rocky Mountains (which, even though I live right next to them, I never get tired of seeing). For some bizarre reason, that song seemed to play on the radio all the time on that trip.

    Journey's Don't Stop Believing reminds me of Europe. My friend and I, when we got bored, would sing it at the top of our lungs in some of the strangest places.

    I personally Love Mad World, by Gary Jules....it makes me feel...something. there's not a word I can think of to describe it.

    I also love that song. I know what you mean, too, about it making you feel something. It's like sadness, but also emptiness, well at least that's how it is with me. It's amazing to hear the original and I LOVE the Ben MacKenzie version

    Time by Pink Floyd

    I'm only 22 and yet this song is full of meaning for me. When I was younger I'd play video games and watch TV all day and still be bored. These past few years have sucked up nearly every ounce of free time I have. Multiple jobs and school and a whole pile of backlogged stuff to do one day whenever I get some free time.

    "And you run and you run to catch up with the Sun but it's sinking.
    Racing around to come up behind you again
    "

    It couldn't be more true.
